How to love myself????!
Question:
How to love myself????
i find that im really self aware i mean i can't even leave my house without make up when i go out i can't even look at my reflection or even mirrors because i don't wanna see myself because i feel like i know i look bad. I do feel quite depressed sometimes and worry about my weight and they way i look even though im not overweight i just always notice my flaws. i broke up with my ex a few months ago and even though i didn't exactly love myself when we were going out i didn't feel as worried about my appearance then i do now How can battle with my self hate and learn to love myself.
Answers:
I have been in this situation, and it is key to remember (or it was in my case, at least) that you are not depressed because you are self-conscious, but you are self-conscious because you are depressed. Once I surrounded myself with people/things that were positive and made me happy, I had a lot better view of myself.
